The North Beach Rowdies Association was established in 1983 as social organization to gather friends and family whom grew up together in North Beach in San Francisco.
The Association's first social activity started with a softball team called the North Beach Rowdies in the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.

The first organized softball game was held on April 9, 1983 at field #1 at Lang Park against S.F. Muni. The Association fielded a team for 20 straight years until 2003.
Six of the original players from the first game also played in the final game 20 years later.
During the majority of those years, we were self sponsored, but for a few years, we were sponsored by The Greens Sports Bar and by the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club.

In addition to softball, the Association has sponsored and participated in golf events, bocce ball events and paintball events.
Our Association has also donated funds to various organizations and charities including the Salesians Boys and Girls Club in San Francisco.
